He can succeed in a role as a traditional running back and also help in the passing game as a blocker or a receiving back. "His body is young," McDaniels said. "He just might be, as a matter of fact, I think he is, our fastest back. He's got a great burst and he's got a great long speed," McDaniels said. Broncos | C.

"There was a meeting with Mr. Bowlen and Brandon did ask to be traded. He was told by ownership that the team would do everything in its power to accommodate those wishes. We do feel that a change of scenery is not only important but necessary." According to a source, Smith reported, Marshall has met with Bowlen more than once in the past week and on both occasions expressed his desire to be dealt.

"It's something we're going to handle and take care of it in-house. I've been through a number of these situations. Whether it does or doesn't get fixed, that's something that's going to play out in the future. But we're going to coach the guys that are here the best we can. When he's ready to go and we get him out here, we'll get him out here," head coach Josh McDaniels said.

He has stayed away from the team's voluntary minicamps the past three weeks because of medical trust and contract issues. Participation for their minicamp this weekend is mandatory. Marshall is in the final year of his contract, which will pay him $2.198 million this season. He may not be eligible for unrestricted free agency after the year unless a new CBA is reached.

Broncos | Torain unsure if he will be ready for camp Mike Klis, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos RB Ryan Torain (knee) said he does not know if he will be ready to participate in practice by the start of training camp.

Broncos | Hillis likely will be used in different ways Jim Armstrong, of The Denver Post, reports the Denver Broncos likely will use FB Peyton Hillis in several ways this season so they can use his different skills. "We're going to use every skill he has. He does a lot of things well. He can run the ball as a single back or he can catch the ball out of the backfield. He can block in two-back sets or he can split out wide. He's got great hands and he's a very tough runner to bring down when you give him the ball. So he'll do a lot of different things for us," head coach Josh McDaniels said. Broncos | C. Bailey behind McDaniels Steve Wyche, of NFL.com, reports Denver Broncos players, most notably CB Champ Bailey, a team captain, are starting to have faith in head coach Josh McDaniels after a rocky start which resulted in the departure of former QB Jay Cutler. "The main thing, as one of the leaders of this team, is to buy into what the coach is doing. That way, the others follow," Bailey said after practice Monday, June 8. "You can't talk negative. I don't care if it is stuff that's real or not. You've got to be positive. You keep things positive, guys will feed into it and want to win for this guy." Broncos | Wiegmann wants extension before camp Frank Schwab, of the Colorado Springs Gazette, reports Denver Broncos C Casey Wiegmann is frustrated that he has not received a contract extension and indicated he might re-evaluate his future if he doesn't get an extension before training camp. Wiegmann said there has been some contact between his agent and the Broncos, but there hasn't been any recent movement. "It's not really going anywhere," Wiegmann said. "It's kind of frustrating, especially when they want reliability. I'm probably one of the more reliable players. We'll see. They have another month and a half to get something done." Broncos | Torain not ready to practice The Associated Press reports Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels said RB Ryan Torain (knee) is not ready to participate in practice at this time. "Ryan's got an injury that we're not ready to go yet. As soon as he's healthy and ready to roll he'll be out there with the rest of them. He's doing a few exercises, it's still part of his rehab, but it's coming along," McDaniels said.

Marshall was expected to go to court June 11 for two misdemeanor counts of battery, stemming from a March 2008 arrest involving his former girlfriend. Broncos | Moreno working to improve but working as backup for now Frank Schwab, of The Colorado Springs Gazette, reports Denver Broncos rookie RB Knowshon Moreno feels good about his progress thus far. However, he still does not know what his role will be within the offense. After being selected No. 12 overall, he will probably get a lot of touches. Moreno has been running behind RBs LaMont Jordan and Correll Buckhalter in practice. Moreno said he is just learning and is trying to find his place with the team. He is learning the playbook, so practices are starting to slow down for him because he understands the offense better. By training camp, Moreno should be ready to move up the depth chart. He plans to keep working on pass protection, catching the ball, running routes and reading defenses. |
